I finally watched The Naked Gun – From the Files of Police Squad! And immediately, I knew I’d picked the right film, as the thoughts, ‘such baffonery’ and ‘Hello, levity’ entered my mind as I smiled and giggled.
Directed by David Zucker; Priscilla Presley, George Kennedy, Ricardo Montalban, and O.J. Simpson are among the key cast of this most charming and entertaining comedy/crime film. One about the adventures of Frank Drebin (Leslie Nielsen), an incompetent Police officer let loose on the streets of L.A.
I enjoyed all the silliness and physical comedy, including the smart use of stunt dummies. As for the one thing I didn’t like? That would be the instances of Wilma’s tearless wailing, which thankfully, only happened at the start. Maybe one day I’ll stop letting tearless crying in film bother me. That day hasn’t quite arrived yet, clearly.
You probably already have, and more than once, but if not, enjoy The Naked Gun – From the Files of Police Squad! You may not think ‘Hello, levity’ and ‘such buffoonery’. But you’ll likely smile and giggle.
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
It’s hard to hate this movie. I look forward to watching Liam Neeson’s version soon.
Impossible if you ask me. 🤓🥂
I haven’t watched this one in decades, but I’ve seen it many times, including the sequels and Airplane!, which was often on local TV.
I look forward to watching them all soon. Nothing stays with us over the years quite like the funny moments. 😊
I haven’t seen it in years, but I remember laughing throughout !
I’ll be watching the second one soon. I’m always in the mood for such silliness.
Leslie Nielsen is always a good giggle😁
Absolutely.
